They are let out for water about half -past

that they all get enough. We do not
leave them out long at a time ; the cattle

"A Holywell correspondent telegraphs:
The tithe campaign was opened iu earn-
est inFlintshire on Monday, when the
Clergy Defence Association, acting on
behalf of the vicar of Whitford, levied a
distress on several fanners in Whitforcl
parish, including thio secretary and treas.
mar of the local branch of the Anti -
Tithe League Association, A number
of emergency men had been brought over
from Ireland specially for the work, and
were accompanied by n smell force of
police, while a strong body of Flintshire,
Carnarvonshire and Denblgshire police
were held in reserve at liolywoll, and the
military in Chester Barracks were under
arms, with a special train in waiting
ready for immediate action. The seiz-
ures were made by a firm of London so-
licitors on behalf of the Defence Associ-
ation, and being quite unexpected by the
farmers passed off quietly. Twelve farms
were distrained upon. The distraint
party which on Monday decended on the
farmers for tithes due to the vicar of
Whitford, in Wales, and the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners, had again a day on
Tuesday. The London tithe agents and
I bailiffs were protected by the police as
on Monday. Twelve farms wore visited,
and although the demeanor of the crowd
was much more threatening than on
Monday no actual breach of the peace
oeaurred. The solicitors engaged, how-
ever, had a quantity of offensive ,,latter
thrown over them, and the police were
pelted with rotten eggs.”
